The state House passed a bill today that would allow schools to start the second Monday in August rather than wait until Aug. 25.

The bill would roll back a 2004 law pushed by the tourism industry, teachers and some parents who were peeved about schools starting in early August. Opponents of the later school-start date have been fighting to change it ever since, reports Lynn Bonner.
